Any of you have any horror stories as a wage cuck? Here's a recent one.
>work for a third of every day
>exhausting body and spirit in thankless menial labor
>for minimum wage
>while my manager, a salaryman, sits in his office and gabs with his friends
>He goes home early, always, before the business gets busy
>at his birthday party, there was literally baby back ribs, ornate cakes and even filet mignon - all for him, of course
>at the employee appreciation dinner, there was cold pizza and stale chicken nuggets
>I am the only employee in my department who did not quit
>despite doing the work of three people, I was denied a raise
>Company policy dictates I cannot exceed my 40 hours a week, so I must do the work of three men within a time limit
>I do not get to sit, rest, or even take my federally mandated half hour break
>He refuses to hire more help
>He refuses to spend money for parts to maintain the equipment
>As such, I struggle my hardest to keep everything running
>Two days from now, my job ends
>Ask him for a letter of recommendation so I can find another job easier
>But today, he has inspected the equipment
>He is appalled at the dust and leaves that has gathered on them, despite them being kept outdoors
>He roars at me in front of the customers, and tells me I will get no letter of recommendation
>He tells me to be glad my job ends in two days, for he would have fired me on the spot otherwise
Such is life in America.

File a lawsuit, and get enough of a settlement to quit
Easy.

Contact OSHA. They will fuck him harder than a horse.
But yeah I have done some wageslaving
> first job out of college
> sales at a payroll company
> First day manager goes over some details of payroll, gives me an info pack 200 pages
> 2nd day, "well there's your desk, start calling and doing door to door"
> Constant heat to "hit my numbers"
> 40hrs per week, plus required to go to every networking event, luncheon, brunch, conference etc
> Sunday is my only day off
> dread every single day
> can't sleep
> contemplate suicide
> boss constantly grilling me about poor numbers
> realize the company is a revolving door and 25% of the company has been replaced in my 6 months there
> Finally get fired 8 months in
> Generally relieved
Thank God I own my own business. If I had to do that shit for a living I would absolutely be a drug addict. Like if I could not use drugs to escape I would kill myself.
I also have some tales about waiting tables.

>working in a unionized factory
>company is ran like shit, supervisors do not give a fuck what you do
>get two 15 minute breaks and a 20 minute paid lunch
>everyone takes a 25 minute break and 30 minute lunch
>people go to the washroom for an hour and play on their phone without getting written up
Easy job, but tedious and boring. I'm so glad I'm leaving.
>>
>Be hired as industry accountant.
>Staff is skeleton crew (8 people total while we had enough work for 10-11).
>Be entry-level and newest one there obviously, so I get the bitch work.
>A shit ton of work.
>Like 60-70 hours a week worth.
>Lots of A/P functions, so it involved having to work with and deal with morons from other departments who didn't do simple expense procedures correctly.
>Start getting hounded by big boss man to cut down on my O/T.
>"Okay"
>Quality of my work starts going down obviously due to this
>Start getting hounded by big boss man about my quality
>Try to rationally explain to him that what I'm tasked with isn't able to be done in 40 hours a week and either I would need more than 40 hours or he'd have to hire more help.
>Like talking to a wall.
>"Someone else would be able to do it easy and we're looking for help...just don't have any good applicants."
>Start working more hours (like 50 a week) and only clocking in for 40 of them.
>Still making mistakes because you'd really need 60+ hours to do what was on my task list, but not enough to have big boss man on my ass anymore.
>Start hating my life because I was literally working for free.
>Contemplating suicide.
>Start looking for new jobs because I knew I would have literally gone through with suicide if I stayed there.
>Found one in a few weeks of looking.
>Never went back to old job, no called no showed.
That place probably owes me 100 hours of pay, but whatever.

I will never understand this.
Why the fuck do you people work for free?
It's not your company, clock out and go home its their problem after that.
>>
>>1594202
just find another wagecuck job and quit
>>
>>1594300
False. I worked at a hotel where you literally were exempt from breaks and sitting due to industry loopholes
>>
>>1594202
Fuck that shit, senpai. I do summer work in a cabinet factory, and if you're white enough to know how to go to a lawyer, using OSHA violations as a bargaining chip can go really fucking well.

You're all commies. Man up
